Building Curriculum for your Inner Baby Poet
Join us for a free workshop led by writer, performer, and educator, Gabriel Ramirez!
In this workshop, we'll be thinking about what we bring to spaces as facilitators who are there to create change and make it fun for everyone in the room. If you're not having fun with poems y'all, you're doing it wrong. Bring something: a poem, a song, a video, a ballet recital, an essay, or whatever else that makes you excited and let's make some lesson plans with it.
